A-MAX DAV309 Personal CD Player

Pros: lots of songs
Cons: lots of problems

The Napa DAV309 is probably the best portable MP3/CD player on the market right now. It is also the only one that supports VCDs. Essentially you can burn a CDr or CDRw with your cd burner jam packed with around 150-200 songs depending on size. You can...

Pros: Plays any CD format, mp3s or CD-RWs
Cons: No built in memory for mp3 storage, trouble with CD-RWs.

The portable CD player put out by A-Max, called the Napa DAV309, has many faces. For starters, it’s a regular CD player, doling out the tunes from any music CD it’s faced with, from the store-bought variety to the standard recordable CD-Rs. However, an...

Pros: easy to use, packed with lots of features
Cons: remote a little unresponsive, large compared to other mp3 cd players

** Overview **

The Napa Mp3 CD player is function packed and easy to use. Unlike the MpTrip, another mp3 cd player, I had my first mp3 cd burnt and running right away. It's basic functions are easy to learn and use and who...

Pros: Good quality, A cool gadget,
Cons: Some ommisions (you cant program it)

Come on admit it. Do you really need one of these? Audio CD, MP3, and VideoCD in one package – of course you don’t. But if you’ve got the spare cash (and it is a bargain) it will definitely impress your mates.

I have had mine for about a...

Pros: Plays.... MP3s on CDs! Plays VCDs great. Good sound quality. Remote. Sleek design.
Cons: Remote has VERY limited range. Anti-Skip isn't very good. Switching songs takes a while. Quality isn't all that great

The first time I saw an ad on the Internet for this product, it nearly blew me away. The Dav 309 was one of the first MP3-CD player (you can put mp3s on a cd thanks to a decoder.) It could hold way over 100 songs on a cd, could play VCDs (the Asian...

Pros: Plays CDs, MP3s and VCDs, affordable
Cons: ugly, background hiss on CD playback

To start I must say that I do like the player (DAV-310). I'm fairly critical of it, but it does what I bought it for, and it was fairly inexpensive (just over $100USD).

Good Things
MP3 Playback is smooth
The MP3...

Pros: great price, plays many formats, remote control, great improvements over old model
Cons: doesn't play svcd,no id3 tag support,takes a few seconds to change mp3 tracks..

First thing, I want to let you know all right off that I'm reviewing the Napa DAV310, not the Napa DAV309. The DV310 is essentially the bug-fixed version of the DAV309. They took a player with some noticeable flaws in an otherwise great idea at a great...

Pros: Portable, inexpensive, versatile
Cons: Tries to do too much

First off, this review covers the DAV310, not the 309. Not really much point in buying the 309 since it's only a few bucks cheaper.

I was looking for a VCD player to watch some VCDs I'd made. I wanted something that could read CDR and CDRW...

Pros: CD, MP3, VCD!
Cons: Low-battery time

A Mp3/CD player that can play VCDs? Why the heck not! The Napa 310 is a nice upgrade from the 309, the most important feature is the addition of a shock protection. On the 309 you couldn't fart without making the thing skip. The 310 has a nice skip...

Pros: rechargeable batteries, plays around 12 albums on 1 CD in MP3s, plays movies
Cons: Ergonomy and features

I bought this product to play my MP3 and CD's wherever I go.

Ironically, it plays the modern digital format, but its features are aging.

-It's portable, but it skips.
-The remote is good, only if you're right in front of the...

Pros: Plays almost all MP3 formats including variable bit rate. Good features.
Cons: Does not like CD's populated with MP3 files using Windows Drag and Drop. Manual weak.

My first experience with this play was tenuous. I took a CD-R, which I copied 160 MP3 files onto the night before the player was delivered, and plopped it in the NAPA DAV310. The player scanned the disk and indicated 57 tracks. I tried playing the...
